The keen reader might remember American songstress Celeste Marie Wilson from a feature we published earlier this year, praising ‘Willow’ as “an anthemic, poignant ballad”. We stand by our words, as we find Wilson in her holiday mode, getting ready for the upcoming Christmas period with a stunning EP of seasonal covers.
‘Christmas at Home’ is short yet impactful, collecting three tracks taken from some of Christmas’ most recognised anthems. Starting with the evergreen ‘Jingle Bells’, here proposed in a classic, melodic livery, then moving to ‘Away in A Manger’, shifting the vibe towards poignancy and heartwarming emotions. ‘Winter Wonderland’ takes the EP to a close with a playful, tender and kinetic version of the everlasting hit. Michael Bublé steps aside: Celeste Marie Wilson is here to stay.
Delving deeper into Wilson’s love for the Christmas holidays, we are told: “It is about the simple moments that bring people together. Her own family traditions revolve around backyard fire pits, roasting marshmallows, homemade hot chocolate and singing favourite songs with her siblings.” We appreciate such blissful imagery, perfectly reflected in Celeste Marie’s EP. We are confident the record will connect with a wide audience out there, sharing a soothing, lovable mood that will brighten everyone’s day.
